October has been warm and dry but some incoming rain could help ease the lack of precipitation concerns for the month.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Mike Albano from the National Weather Service in Lincoln explains the dry October has been somewhat volatile. We've seen days with near record lows and recent days with temperatures near 80 degrees.

While it's been dry to this point so far in October, things could change quickly with some rain moving into the area and Albano says it's going to stick around for a while.

Albano says flooding isn't likely for most of Illinois because of the low and slow nature of the income precipitation. He does warn of some isolation of standing water in areas where there are leaves or harvest debris blocking storm drains. 

Anticipate the rain moving out of the area Wednesday morning.
